 Clothes washer crapped out so that cut deep into my tractor time. 
  Fuel tank is in, had to cut out the shift gate screws to remove it, stainless replacements went in. 
  New “brown” 7473 drive belt installed. 

  Started to run new fuel line, filter/ shutoff etc…

I see a crack in the hood stand in the usual spot in the last two photos.  You may want to address that before you go much further.

  Good eye! I have a buddy that’s going to weld it up soon.

Today, in the 50 degree day we had I primed and painted a new hood for my 312. I still need to paint the black. Then I cleaned up and touched up my spare Magnum 12 before accidentally dropping it bringing it back into my basement, and breaking an ear off the mounting bracket 🤬. BUT my father has a welder and years of experience so hopefully it can be put back on. I’d rather have the ear break off than it land on me though.

@Bill D When I painted both tractors, I also changed out the screws for bolts on the shifting pattern plate. It definitely makes it MUCH easier to get off if needed. The 308’s were rusted like yours and were a PITA to get out.

One of the pine trees in my side yard finally gave up. :( It was time to take it down before the Hostas started coming up underneath it. The C-81 was chosen to help.

Dead pine trees are NO fun, only ended up getting poked in the ear, unscathed otherwise. The :wh: didn't seem to mind though...

 

Last summer...

Yesterday, almost hit 70 degrees, warmest day yet this year, perfect day for yard work.

Looks shiny! The bonnet will be my final piece to strip and paint.

 

Question, what colours are you using? I'm going Rustoleum red, but haven't picked the black yet.

Hey guys. I had an account here about 2 years ago but I kinda fell off the face of the earth for a while. I’m back now (with a new account because lord knows I can’t remember my passwords) and I figured I’d show you guys my latest project. I can’t remember if I ever showed yall this tractor way back when but I bought this 68 raider 10 a couple years ago, sold it, and bought it back in pieces a couple months ago. I have started doing a basic restoration on it over the last few weeks. It’s been repowered with a kohler command 12.5.

Many of us use Regal Red and a satin black.
